Note, the Battery & System Testing is is discontinued and no longer available. This convenient battery diagnostic tool quickly assesses everything about your battery, including its starting and charging system.

Our tester works on all 12-volt Conventional, Maintenance Free, AGM, Gel Cell, Marine, and Deep Cycle batteries. It features a 7 – 15 volt operating range and reverse polarity and over-voltage protection. The handheld controller is easy to use and easy to read with LCD display and LED indicators. Cables measure 18" long and feature corrugated terminal clips.

Easy testing of battery capacityProduct is simple to use. It's important to know if your charging system is working so you don't destroy the new battery you just installed.
The only drawback is the sketchy operating manual. I personally prefer to understand the details of how tools work, so more explanation in the manual would be nice. That's the only thing that prevented me from giving this tool 5 stars. Operationally it works great.

Great battery health screening toolPurchased this as a way to know ahead of time when to replace my batteries. Takes a few times to get the test sequencing clear, but does the job. Instructions could be better.

I have this tester and it gives me these choices and a range of numbers. &nbsp;Could you please explain what CCA and IEC and DIN and EN and CA(MCA) are all about, their differences and what their numbers mean? Thanks. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

a SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standard, for EN, IEC, DIN or JIS standards. These Battery Standards/Ratings usually refer to the country of origin for that battery and/or a specific battery type that is unique in style. CCA-Cold cranking amps CCA, these are the standards that most battery companies use to rate the output and capacity of a battery.

Can this be used on British cars with positive ground?

I received an answer to my previous question about what different letter designations meant for one of them, CCA (cold cranking amps). That was a help, but what are the others like IEC, DIN, EN and CA and their number ranges? &nbsp;Are they important?

Asked by: jlockwoodj

CCA is the only necessary measurement you would need. The rest of the terms are used for outside of the United States.

&nbsp;I will be storing my 2013 Mercedes E-350 for the winter in my garage. &nbsp;In the past I have started it every two weeks and let it warm to operating temperature. &nbsp;Instead, which would maintainer would you recommend for in vehicle use?

Asked by: Deep Dish Guy

If you are storing your vehicle for the winter in your garage instead of the Battery &amp; System Tester we would recommend the 92217 - Battery Manager IV.

I read the instruction. Can the charging system tests be done by one person? From the instructions it appears that one person is needed in the car to control engine speed and accessories while another is needed to read the tool.

Asked by: rolly

The charging system test can be done by one person. Once you have completed the Starting Systems Test press enter to go to the Charging Systems test. Next you will need to run the engine to 1200-1500 rpms then go back to the Battery &amp; System Tester and press enter. This will display the charging system voltage.

does this tester load test a battery? Does it test for shorted cells?

Asked by: dave68

The Battery &amp; System Tester will test the battery status indicating whether it is good, needs a charge, or cannot hold a charge. It will also test the starting system to identify if it is ok, weak or needs to be checked. Finally the Battery &amp; System Tester will test the starting system voltage to identify if it is ok, high or low. It will not test for shorted cells.
